Well, today is my birthday - I am 43... This time last year, I was 15 stone and still avoiding the camera like the plague. This year, I went out for dinner with friends that I only see once every couple of months, wearing skinny jeans and knee-high boots - was told I looked amazing - and felt fantastic! What a difference a year makes!

One of my friends decided I looked like a size 12 and told me I didn't need to lose any more weight. Another followed me to the bar to fling her arms around me and tell me how amazing I looked - think the barman was quite surprised!

Needless to say, I had a lovely evening!

Happy birthday hun!!! Hope you've had a fab day! xxx

 

[Spanx]

Thanks ladies!

I have upoaded a new face pic in my album - taken today - I can finally see the difference!!!

 

[Spanx]

Also, forgot to record the best NSV - I bought those knee-high boots in the Clarks sale last Easter and couldn't get them done up over my calves. When I wore them this week, they not only did up easily - but over jeans too!!! Maybe my 'hockey-player' legs are on the way out!

Thanks 40 (sorry, can't shorten your name to fat - sounds sooooo wrong!!!). I hope you are having a good day! x

Love your attitude, just like mine and could totally relate to your first post! Look forward to keeping up with your progress

Thanks Emmey - when I look back on that first post I realise just how much everything has changed! Never want to go back there and I think that keeping a diary so that you can look back and remember exactly how it felt will make sure I never do! Have a great week! x

So, Thursday was another good day, although not enough veg... need to remedy that today, so might make some soup later!

Lunch: Half a baked potato, beans, cheese (HEA)
Dinner: Oven chips (4 syns - needed comfort food!), bbq sauce (2 syns), leek and potato soup (HEB for olive oil)

Syns today: 6

Saturday: Green
Brekkie: Crunchy bran (HEB), ff yoghurt, strawberries
Lunch: Apple, alpen light (half HEB)
Dinner: Pasta, pesto (2.5 syns), roasted veg (mushrooms, red onion, courgette, tomatoes), cheese (HEA)

Syns today: 2.5
Syns for week: 66.5
